Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Bears answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: B-.

The Bears spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick29 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick No. 29 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A clean, defensible pick in slot 61 with a little surplus value in Xavier Worthy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
A tidy little value on Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Renardo Green
They took Renardo Green at par in Round 3, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at pick 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
